Astudent solved this problem by working backward. jared has some flowers. he has 6 more red flowers than yellow flowers. he has twice as many orange flowers as red flowers. he has 4 yellow flowers. how many flowers does jared have altogether? student's solution: jared has 4 yellow flowers. he has 6 more red than yellow flowers (4 + 6 = 10). he has twice as many orange flowers as red flowers (10 × 2 = 20). so jared has 4 + 10 + 20 = 34 flowers. use a similar strategy to solve this problem. kathleen has some balloons. she has 7 more silver balloons than gold balloons. she has 3 times as many bronze balloons as silver balloons. she has 5 gold balloons. how many balloons does kathleen have altogether?
